The piers of the North Clifton
 bridge are built of rocks around
 which is fastened heavy wooden
 boxing-these boxes are the hid ing places of numbers of snakes and on any sunny day can be seen numbers of them, as they crawl to the tops of the rocks there to while away a season in the sun. On last Friday, at noon, as Messrs. Scotten and Staubly, of the CLARION, were returning to the office in North Clifton, they saw at the bridge, what they supposed to be large boulder lying on top of the center pier, but, which on ''second sight" proved to be an immense knot of snakes. They were comparatively quiet when first seen but becoming alarmed at the approach of the strangers they began to endeavor to dissolve, as it were, and in their efforts in this direction they sig
 nally failed, for in just two min utes they were about the best mix ed up, liveliest reptile conglom- crate, that could be imagined, see ing that they had the subtle ser pents at a slight disadvantage, Scotten and Staubly attacked the mass with their ebony walking canes and succeeded in killing forty-two of them, besides severely wounding several. Those killed comprised every variety, from the attractive garter to the repulsive Hydrocotylus Umbilliferus. A very fine specimen of the latter has been preserved in vinegar and can be seen at this office. It will be stuffed and sent to the Smithsonian at Washington, ss soon as our taxldermist returns from the spring roundup.

Ghosts.

It IS Delle1 among people Wnose business compels them to cross the upper bridge over the river, (the North Clifton bridget after dark, that a spook walks in the vicinity of the crossing every evening, that the weather permits spooks to walk, without danger of exposure. In fact We have the word of a very reliable gentleman Concerning spooks) that he has repeatedly seen and talked with one of very large dimensions, on the west end of the bridge. The gentleman's name is William Rufus Blackwell, and is familiarly spoken of in this community as "Parson Black" or "Black Parson." Mir. Blackwell says that his faculty for seeing ghosts and spirits. was given him by nature and that he was born with q black veil over his face, both of which statements we can readily believe, because from personal ob- servation of the gentleman we would make affidavit of the facts that he can see, smell and taste spirits with readiness that could only be innate, and that the black veil. he is 80 proud of, still clings in caressing folds around his clas- sic features. The ghost that Mir. Blackwell sees, through his veil, is the spirit of an uneasy Mexican who slew his brother Abel when Montezuma was small boy. Mir. B., converses with this defunct son of the Aztecs with a fiuency that would paralize anybody but dead man. He speaks the pure Castil- ian to the dead because he says they are the only people on the face of the earth who understand it las he speaks it) in which state ment he is doubtless correct. There is another ghost too that is ire quently seen by MT. B., this one is a sort of an acrobatic calf ghost that turns flip-faps, and such like, and is only seen by Mir B., as by other men, after they have been wilhing away some time with other spirits down town, and talking about ghosts brings to mind the fact that several times the employ. ees of this office have seen a ghost and they didn't have on any veil either. This was a kind of a double spook, four arms, two heads and two legs, (that could be seen) and the arms of one part of the spirit was around the other part of it, wound tightly there, amidships, and when a noise was made the ghost would get nervous and drop his arms from around the other part of him, and he would separate himself, as it were, and each of him would walk on opposite sides of "Lover's Walk" inst like nothing had happened, and when all was still again, he'd get tangled up again-and so on. ''Parson," old man, if you want to see real integ- esting spooks, get that veil -JH of your eyes. Dead Mexicans are not markers to the the ghosts we've aeen ln-S>f YAv. CT night.

It seems that he was assisting the brakeman on the north bound train at that point, to do some switching and while attempting to alight from a running box car one of his feet was caught by the wheels and so badly crushed that amputation was necessary. He was brought to Clifton, and on last Friday the operation was per formed by Dr. Lacy. Courson is a hale, hearty man, though some what aged, and the Doctor has strong hopes of his ultimate re- coyery.

John Willett, whose killing by indians was reported and chron- icled here about two years ago, has returned. It would be well to remark, by the way, that he is not dead, nor not even sleeping. He is in Morenci working, and when we saw him eating. After eighteen months of wandering in the Sierra Madres, in Mexico, he hes conclud- ed that this side of the line is good enough and will remain here. He says he had been dead year when he heard of his misfortune and the evidence of his taking off, was the fact that burro supposed to have been owned by him was discovered near Bowie Station with gunshot wound through it, presumably the work of Apaches, and as nothing was heard further of Mir. Willett, he was given up. He was formerly miner of Aqua Eric camp, at the head of Chase creek and is well known in this section.

Training Children.

Train the children to be useful,
even if the little feet often grow
weary. They become SO with the
endless rounds OF play, and moth
ing is thought of that. But if
there is a kindly Office to be done
little lift here or there, a simple
act of courtesy even-,many moth
ers will say:
"Poor child, he is so tired. I do
not think John is very strong, do
you ?"
And the selfish little heart swal-
lows it all, and grows more and
more greedy of its own pleasures
and more forgetful of the wants
and needs of those around him.
But if mothers only understood
how gigantic is this evil they are
fostering in the child they would
be Mortified. -Exar,iaaer

Miss Helen Blanchard, of Port
land, Maine, was the daughter of
a merchant who was unfortunate
in business. After an unsuccess-
full attempt at keeping boarding
house in Boston, she obtained work
in Philadelphia clothing house.
One day in fit of desperation, she
abandoned the shop to invent a
band in gentlemen's hats to pre-
vent perspiration, which proved
highly successful. She has now
returned to Portland to buy back
the old homestead where the fami-
ly lived in their former days of
prosperity.-Bostom Journal.

cowries or little shells which are
